[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9089998, member: 6684958"] Both A and B groups found this one: not too far outside of town are the ancient ruins of an elven temple to Darahl [I]Firecloak with a Font of Flamequench. [/I]While most towns folk knew about the ruins, few knew about the elven town that was there, and only three people knew about the temple...and no one around knew of the font. The PCs had to investigate it all by scattered clues and figure things out 'for real' (no I roll a DC 10 to remember everything about everything). It is what it is. Everyone started at 10th level. Because I hate wasting time doing "Second Life Crap" in an RPG. Like when a player wants their character to go "to the bar" and "pretend to drink" for 3-6 hours of real time. And most players lack that "tie" skill.... Yea, that would be the soft way. If they are lucky they would say just find the "bar" closed.....for a bit worse, and used in this game....a ghost would suddenly possess the character. Then the player would was forced to sit and do nothing as I played his character for a whole real life hour....then the ghost moved on. Of course, everyone is the same level. And it's easy as more people show up every couple of days to be dragonslayers.... Well...to a good players they are hard to find, but work the work and gameplay to do so. To the bad players they are "impossible" to find. Not yet. The first problem is group B has no leader.....and worse five leaders. Their second big problem is their wacky ideas....they wasted a lot of time on the idea of making "an illusion of a dragon" to "do something" but none of the characters are any type of spellcaster with illusion spells...let alone some higher level spells. They traveled in aimless circles trying to 'spot' the dragon. They looked for big caves and explored them. They followed a herd of mountain goats for a while hopping the dragon would come and eat some. All sorts of ways? I don't often "advance time", we are playing through day by day. 10th level and it's an adult dragon. [/QUOTE]
